Summary

Did you know that you were created for delight? It’s true! Though, if you are not feeling the fullness of that right about now you are not alone. We live in a fallen world and life can feel complicated and hard. Sometimes even turning to the Bible can feel like another task on our to-do list. Most of us don’t like to admit these things, especially in the midst of what is supposed to be the happiest season of all. (right?)  Today’s guest, Asheritah Ciuciu, is no stranger to this reality. After a season of feeling dried up and burned out, Asheritah discovered the secret to a life of enduring joy.  And the good news, it wasn’t dependent on doing better or working harder.  It was – and always is, all about Jesus!  Listen in as Asheritah explains how we can drink from God’s river of delights and find in Him the desires of our heart! I think you’ll find lots of encouragement in this conversation, and I hope you’ll pass it along to your friends who could use a bit more joy in this season (and in the New Year!)  Find all the notes and links at: http://www.monicaswanson.com/asheritah-joy General podcast page: http://www.monicaswanson.com/podcast Looking for a Bible-based math or science homeschool curriculum? All my boys have used DIVE/Shormann Math and science for short-but-thorough lessons through the AP level! They believe it was the best preparation for their college studies in engineering and data analytics. Shormann Algebra 1&2  prepares kids for everything on the Pre-SAT, SAT, and ACT with over 200 practice questions!
